That's what friends are for!

Ok, so I know you are all about ready to fall over because I am updating and I know you can't wait to read what it is I'm going to post about!

That being said, here goes........Obviously I have fallen short of my twice a week blog entering. As my dear friend Kris was so kind to point out, I only have 3 entries for January! I'm sorry, did I say twice a week? I meant twice a month so see I'm already ahead! HAHA!

It's been a pretty busy week so I will speak of the highlights which would actually be a little over a week ago. I flew out on the first of February to Sacramento, CA. My best friend from highschool picked me up and we drove to her house. She lives in Elk Grove and it's been almost a year since I've seen her(even though she was in Pocatello, ID at Christmastime! JK Susie, I just like giving you a bad time!) It was so great to see her and her family. She has two little girls that are beautiful and growing so fast. Her oldest Madison is the same age as Lauren. We were pregnant at the same time. My only regret is that we live so far and our girls won't be able to grow up together.

Susie and I stayed up late catching up and then on Friday, three of my other bestest buds drove to Elk Grove. Jen, Kris and Kim joined us at Susie's and we headed off to spend the weekend at Jen's cabin in Tahoe! It was like old times. Jen, Kris, Kim and I had spent the weekend at her cabin 17 years ago when we were teens!

The drive was great just catching up on so much. When we got to the cabin there was a lot of snow! The driveway hadn't been plowed so the snow plow came and of course I had to get pictures. It was pretty cold in the cabin and there wasn't any running water because the pipes were so cold. We lit a fire and tried to warm the house up. After a few hours we still had no water so we decided to go into town and have dinner and maybe we'd have water when we got back. Dinner was great and we went shopping to get a few essentials! We came home and there was still no water but we made the best of it! We decided to play a card game and Kris thought she was the "waner" but she wasn't !!!! We had a great time except for the fact that Kim started to not feel well.

The next morning there was still no water so we filled up buckets(thought of you bucket) with snow and set them next to the fireplace to try to melt it so we would have water to flush the toilet! Imagine 5 women, no water, no showers, filling buckets with snow to try and flush the toilet! Good Times!! But you know what? It wasn't that bad. Despite the fact that we were essentially "roughing it" we had such a fun time. We laughed so hard, we enjoyed each other's company and enjoyed catching up on all of our lives.

I have been through so much with these 4 women. Jen and Kim I have known since 2nd grade and Susie and Kris since middle school. We have been through adolescence, teenage years, ups and downs, marriages, births and deaths. We have been there for each other through thick and thin and I love each and every one of these women like a sister. I feel so blessed to have them as a part of my life and want them to know how thankful I am for their friendship.

I will have more about our fun weekend later! Stay tuned, I promise it won't be another month.
